3.08 was supposed to make a hail of arrows effective against glamour and thus offer more nations a less extreme (in terms of design points, strat, overall cost) counter to vans.

Clearly Jazzepi feels mislead - saying "well archers aren't the counter to heavy cavalry" just demonstrates that the van nerf might not have changed them much, since the big alteration was for missiles vs glamour.
You would expect the glamour nerf to roughly double the number of hits against Vans, but an E9 bless will reduce the number of hits by something like a factor of 2.5, as well as reducing the damage when an arrow does manage to hit. I'm still kind of surprised the archers did "nothing" to the Vans.
